Chapter 61 - I'll do everything I can to get out of work.
Editor: imsara
The plan to leave school early has hit a dead end. In fact, I heard that this was the very beginning, but that was about it.
I asked Professor Tia for advice, and the next plan that I came up with was, quite simply, to stay in school.
It’s a huge contradiction in terms, but don’t think too hard about it.
If you are not required to attend lectures and practical classes, you can retire to school under the guise of doing research on your own.
“However, it’s not that easy.”
In fact, I feared that it would be more difficult than expulsion from school.
“What’s so difficult about it? I think Hart-sama would find it easy to silence the teachers.”
Lisa flopped down on the floor and nodded her head slightly.
It was Hart C and Lisa who had been asked to gather in their dormitory room. I didn’t call Charl and Frey because the conversation was going to be complicated.
”First of all, the lectures are pretty knowledge-biased.”
I seem to have some knowledge there due to the influence of Charl’s gifted education for a while, but it’s limited. If I face difficult content in the future, I’m sure I’ll be ripped off.
Practical skills are even more doubtful.
I’m only supposed to be able to use magic of the 【Earth】 attribute system, so the restrictions are tight and I need to be extremely careful.
”Once Hart-sama’s ability is made known, everyone will think that there’s no need to even attend the academy. You should aim to graduate as fast as possible. It’s easier that way.”
What a tempting proposition… But, that’s a bit of a stretch, isn’t it? And you know what?
I don’t want to be too obvious.
I’m good at bluffing with barrier magic, and I can manage within the range of earth magic, but then there will be people who will suspect ‘Hart-Shiva’.
In fact, Professor Tia seemed to have a suspicion similar to that.
Because of Hart-C’s existence, he could get over the suspicion, but if it was known that he could use hacha magic, that was not the case.
“So, you’re saying that I’m going to explore a good saltiness that will make people recognize that I’m not as good as Shiva’s level while showing off my abilities in moderation.”
Hart C. chuckles.
“You can’t,”
“Ah.”
“There’s no way I’m going to be able to add or subtract the smallest amount of detail. It’s a good idea to set aside the practical skills for now and see what we can do about the lecture series,” said Haruto C. “It’s not a good idea to put the practical skills to the side, but that’s what we should do about the lecture series.”
It’s not a good idea to put it there, but that’s just the way it is. It’s not a good idea to put it there, but that’s what it is, because it’s the most difficult class in the highest school in the country. It’s hard to get nearly perfect scores in all subjects. So, let’s think about that one first.
Hmmm, me and Hart C. I crossed my arms and thought, and then a flash of inspiration came to me. We both clap our hands at the same time.
“You noticed, Hart C?”
“Yeah, I didn’t even have to think about it.”
“Hmm, no need to attend the lecture in the first place…”
The two of us shake hands firmly.
“Um, isn’t there a problem with slacking off suddenly…?”
No wonder Lisa is confused.
It’s not a good idea for me to skip class after receiving the King’s recommendation, but it would be a badge of honor for my dad to skip class.
But, it’s all about results, as long as you do well.
I made an evil-looking smile.
Lecture classes are graded on exams. If I can get a perfect score or something there, they won’t complain if I’m not in the class. I’ve come up with that secret plan.
‘I see,’
Lisa looks relieved, “I’m sure Hart-sama will be fine, but you’re not unrelated, either, right?”
As I said before, my knowledge is biased. So, it’s impossible for me to get a perfect score in all subjects. It’s a hassle. That’s where–
Me and Hart C. We approached Lisa quickly.
“Eh, um, eh…?”
“You and Professor Tia must work together.”
“I…? What do you want me to do?”
We say out in unison.
“Cheat!”
“I’ll send the test questions to the girls who are waiting somewhere, and they will solve them. I’ll be able to send the results to me via a communication warding spell.”
“With their combined knowledge, there’s nothing to be afraid of!”
“Yeah…”
The earnest Lisa is clearly upset.
In order to encourage her–.
–I took Lisa to visit Professor Tia’s office.
“Fine. Let’s work together.”
I didn’t think she’d say two things. I thought you’d be on board, but this guy really is a teacher.
It’s a risk for me, of course, but it’s too much of a haze in front of the benefits that I can get.
“What is profit?”
I’ve been asking this person for a lot of favors lately, and I’m bracing myself for her to make a strange request.
“Where do you think you’re going to be holed up, skipping class?”
“I’m in my room in the dormitory.”
“I’m going to let Hart C protect that part of my life and I’m going to relax in my home in the middle of nowhere.”
“Even if I do, I’m going to skip class, just because ‘the level of the class is not good enough for me’ is weak. It’s a straightforward tactic to attach to your persuasion that you have other things to do.”
“Other… uh, magic research, I guess.”
“Yes! Then, you see, it wouldn’t be very convincing in your own dorm room, would it?”
“No, no, no.”
It’s missing!
I don’t want to be so tight.
I’d rather have Hart C. in the dormitory or I won’t be able to stay home in peace?
Think about it. This is the perfect place for you. A place with a lot of material on ancient magic, great facilities, and a top researcher.
“Hmm, so that’s the short version. This guy.”
“Do you want me to leave you alone?”
“I don’t mean that! That’s right, though!”
“What do you mean?”
“You are a valuable resource for me. I’m not asking for any favors, but I do hope you’ll study ancient magic with me!”
“Oh, I get it.”
“But, research material. The way you say it.”
“I’m not gonna do an autopsy or anything. I’d love it if you’d let me.”
That’s what I’m talking about, and you don’t have any friends other than me.
“So, why don’t we have a room for you. Make this lab your home away from home.”
“No, but…”
I look around the cluttered room. It’s really cluttered. I don’t even want to describe it any other way.
“However, it’s not a problem if you’re willing to give me a room.”
If I can modify the room to my liking, it’ll keep Hart C’s frustration at bay, and I’ll be able to come and go from my base in the middle of nowhere.
I’ve been pecked on the back.
I’m not sure if it’s a private conversation or not, but I put my ear to Lisa’s face as she stares at me.
“It’s dangerous to live by her side. She could find out things.”
I’m the one who made the news. I mean, I told them that I was Shiva. But, I didn’t tell Lisa and the others about it.
I heard that the Roundtable hasn’t officially recognized Professor Tia as one of their own, so it’s hard to say that I told her.
I postpone the issue, saying let’s find the right time.
“This would be a good time to find out if Professor Tia is truly trustworthy.”
To put it another way.
“You’ve thought this through. That’s why I’m so proud of you, Hart-sama.”
I responded with a carefree smile, and felt guilty…
Anyway, I’m ready to get through the written test.
I’m on track to pass the written exam. Now I’ll be able to legally skip more than half the classes.
The problem is the practical skills class that I’ve left on the side.
Now, how do I make it possible for me to skip the class legally?
I thought about it with a meltdown in my chest–.
”Hart, you’re putting all your energy into the wrong thing, aren’t you?”
I don’t want to hear that kind of comment.
